The leaves are falling fast and the streets are already lined with piles of leaves. The crews will begin leaf pick up and alley clean up this week as weather permits. They will begin on the west side of town and move eastward. Along with the alley clean up, we will be grading some alleys this year due to the damage incurred over this winter and trimming trees that are reaching out in the alleyway. Please remember to place leaves along the curb for the vacuum to pick up. Yard debris should be placed in alleys away from the garbage can so it can be removed. The Adopt-a-truck program is still available in evenings and on the weekends to help remove garden and yard clean up. Call the City office for more information and reservations, 208-414-1965.

I appreciated the Harvest Edition in last week’s Signal. It is great to see two of our future agri-business leaders on the cover. This is a busy time of the year for our agricultural partners and I wanted to take a minute to recognize them. Thank you for your hard work and being a part of the Weiser community. We appreciate you and what you bring to our community.
